Cardiometabolic Effects of Omnivorous vs Vegan Diets, a Randomized Clinical Trial | Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA)
This randomized clinical trial of identical twin pairs compares the cardiometabolic effects of a healthy vegan diet with a healthy omnivorous diet.
This paper has been getting a lot of attention in the Dietetics community; worth a read.

Meaning The findings from this trial suggest that a healthy plant-based diet offers a significant protective cardiometabolic advantage compared with a healthy omnivorous diet.

As opposed to cardiovascular apparently
Cardiometabolic risk factors include, at minimum, abdominal obesity (waistline 40 inches or more in men, 35 inches or more in women); high fasting triglycerides; low ‘good’ HDL cholesterol; and elevated blood pressure. These four factors together are often referred to as metabolic syndrome.
